Android: Webview performance

I have an application with a WebView, and I know that performance in Android 4.4 or or higher improves considerably.

Is necessary to establish the min-sdk as 19 (4.4) to take advantage of this improvement or i can establish a lower min-sdk and continue to benefit from improved?

Obviously, I mean on devices with version 4.4 or greater

You are probably referring to this: Migrating to WebView in Android 4.4

If you go with option 1 :

establish the min-sdk as 19 (4.4) to take advantage of this improvement

Then you will loose 60% of the market share(!) Second option seems better but If your application's performance lacks a lot, then its kinda problematic too. Either way it depends on what you are trying to achieve..

IMHO, I suggest going with the second option and if performance is noticeable, then pick option 1.
